Hartracn19 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hey no problem. We racers are a family, and when one goes down, well, we pray and help where and when we can, just like any other family should! I agree, I look forward to meeting you. Not sure if I will make it to the pits though, but I will definateley be in the stands. No, the Toyota is going to need a little more TLC before I can get her out there. Just ran out of time, energy and $$$. I thought burning the candle at both ends wasn't enough, so I started burning it in the middle too, and got burned...LOL... I hope to have it done by midyear, though!! (Mike, I do have your videos, so if I do not make it into the pits, we will have to get together in the stands!!)

Hartracn19 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The person that taped the TPS races last year was named Thad. His screen Name is VideoGuy, but according to the little counter thing on here, he hasn't been logged in on here since "6th November 2006 - 02:18 PM." He did email me and said that he was going to be out taping this Saturday, and may try to spend some time in the pits before he goes and sets up. Due to the number iof times he will be having to travel to SAS this year, his cost on the DVD's will be $15 this year (still a pretty good value, I think.) Since I will not be racing for at least a few races, I have stepped out of the role of interfacing between him and TPS. I would recomend clicking on his screen name and sending him an email, but I will also email him and suggest he look at this thread... CRT - When we are all healthy, we tend to forget, but we are all in God's hands, both when we are healthy and when we are down. GodSpeed on a fast, full recovery for your dad.
